    league cup draw

    Not like the money is going to make up a massive chunk of their revenue is it. I'm sure their argument would be that they attract the bigger gates so deserve more but to get 3 and a half times more than a EFL club is wrong. I'd prefer it to be 40% L2, 30% L1, 20% FLC, 10% PL.

    Palmer leaving

    Indeed. Palmer is more the sort of player that shines when the team are in control and he takes the piss out of the opposition, But he's not the type of player that will get a team having a bad game out of the doldrums.

    Of course higher population and not building an equivalent number of homes, as well as things like more single person households etc have a big effect. But the fact is far more people are now renting rather than owner occupied. If most people want to buy a house to live in then why as some many...

    Well we could start by not offering executives massively over-inflation rises and using some of that.

    They are, but the French thought they'd landed in India, not America. Hence the name.

    Probably, but trouble is most of those wanting to buy a house to live in can't afford it because they're being bought by people seeing them as an investment and renting them out.

    There's truth in that. However it also ignores the fact that a large amount of growth can be attributed to the top few wealthy %. Would be more interesting looking at growth (and other factors) per quartile or decile.

    But you don't see that much of it in the media. Yet every time growth figures are announced it's everywhere.

    Economic indicators are largely nonsense. They are decided by those doing well out of the current situation and so choose those that paint things in a good light. For instance, we have a big fixation with economic growth but you can have an economy showing large growth yet the vast majority of...

    It's incredible. Their entire plan was based on growth, but they're going to do absolutely nothing to help achieve that growth If anything they'll hinder it. It's Tory economic policy that's failed us dismally and if they continue on this route it's going to get worse.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Possibly. But you've picked a small group that have good pay due to a hardline union. Ask many other sectors, unionised or otherwise, if they have as good a deal as pensioners and the answer is no. I could say pensioners are an easier target than billionaires and friends of ministers with...

    Sorry to hear about the really rough time you've been having. Look after yourself and hopefully we can all celebrate a win tonight. I do think we'll make a lot of changes though.

    Pensioners are never an easy political target. If there's one group you can expect lots to vote and complain when they don't get what they want it's pensioners. How many other parts of the welfare budget have maintained their value compared to the pension? You don't get a triple lock on child...

    Because they're linked to fossil fuel cost. And energy companies look for every opportunity to fleece consumers so they can have bigger dividends for shareholders. Price of oil etc goes down it takes a while for that to pass through because 'companies are still using up fuel bought at the higher...
